Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine sliced strawberries with 1/4 cup sugar and let them marinate for about 10 minutes.
  3. Using a hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese with 3/4 cup sugar and the vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. In a large bowl, combine yellow cake mix, melted butter, 1 cup of milk, and a pinch of salt. Stir until just mixed.
  5. Pour half of the cake batter into the greased dish. Dollop the cream cheese mixture and marinated strawberries on top.
  6. Spread the remaining cake batter over the strawberry and cream cheese layer.
  7. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
